Generally I'd want to warn you, that -current is not the typical
environment for a production machine. You should use FreeBSD-2.2.2
and cvsup the 2.2-STABLE version.
On the other hand -current is since a long time in a very good
shape with only minor trouble from time to time. And it's the
only release, that has SMP capabilities.
Since I use better hardware and have a new power supply, I had no
big trouble and am running a very fast 2 x 200 MHz PPro machine.
